The ideas of John Maynard Keynes revolutionised twentieth-century economics, and continue to provoke debate today. This book explores fully, for the first time, Keynes' thinking on international relations and its links to his views on economics.

Sixty years after his death, the life and thought of the economist, John Maynard Keynes, continues to be a subject of the greatest interest to scholars. Yet one of the most significant areas of Keynes' thinking has been strangely overlooked - international relations, a subject that was always of central importance to him. The purpose of this book is to explore comprehensively, for the first time, the evolution of Keynes' thinking on international relations , and to show how this is linked to the changing of his opinions on economic matters, in a way which deepens our understanding of both.
